Indonesia to Vaccinate 400,000 Dogs Against Rabies on Bali Island

By The Associated Press (CP) – 14 hours ago - Indonesia will vaccinate 400,000 dogs against rabies on the resort island of Bali, officials said Tuesday, as they cranked up efforts to wipe out an epidemic that has killed dozens of people. They said they could not afford mass vaccinations recommended by the World Health Organization and others. Bali's governor, Made Pastika, said thanks to funds provided by a global alliance of animal welfare organizations, "we now have a humane alternative for protecting our people and our animals." He and others said they hoped to see Bali rabies-free by 2012.
